Mack 3P Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Are the exports CKD or are they completly assembled?Assembled to be exported. Saudi ones look cool black chassis with white spoke wheels. Set up to be mixers.Something else I notice is the Canadians often order some of the nicest looking trucks. They get Rawhide, button & tuck, bright finish everywhere, leather seats.

Green Dash Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 A few big orders going on. UPS ordered 50 more trucks, ABF ordered 300 more, and PittOhio orderd 70 more. Some larger export orders 30 GU's to Saudi Arabia, and 70 to Chili on top of what has already been built.I drive for Pitt Ohio. We were told there's a total of 125 new Pinnacles coming this year.

Mack 3P Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 The new ABF order started today, Also noticed another order of 100 CHU's for FracTech, and more CXU's for Chili. NYC LEU's is also running. Who ever goes to the plant tour at the antique truck show should see an interesting variety of trucks.ABF is different then most CHU's because the CXU has a in four battery in frame box under the deck plates.

granitefan713 Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 What are the times for the factory tours over the Macungie show weekend? Just show up?I believe the factory tour is just Saturday like in the past. You probably won't be able to drive over yourself this year either. Just hop on the bus at the show and they'll take you over. I believe they usually start around 10am.

GearheadGrrrl Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Interesting that these are all over the road rather than "vocational" trucks... Must be quite an embarressment for Volvo to see these customers choose Macks instead of Volvos! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cxn613 Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Was at the Mack dealer today and seen 6 more baby blue Macks for Martins Pastry. Was told by the parts guy that there is another 6 on the way. Martins bought 12 new ones a few months ago and now another 12. They said that the drivers love the MDrive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
